Consulting

All of our consulting projects are custom-designed to meet the needs of the client organization. If you are interested in hiring Creative Capacity, email us at allison@creativecapacity.net with a brief description of the kind of project you are hoping to pursue and your desired timeline. If it seems like we may be a good fit, we’ll schedule a no-obligation, 20 minute phone call to discuss your needs and see if we should talk further.

Frequent consulting topics include:

  • Mission and vision: thinking about your nonprofit’s role in its community, and articulating what you are trying to accomplish through your work.
  • Strategic planning: mapping out a strategic direction to ensure that your organization is effective and sustainable in the long-term. We also help organizations develop scenario plans that enable strategic decision-making during uncertain times.
  • Board Effectiveness: collaborating with boards to determine how they can best contribute to advancing the mission, often including facilitating board retreats, updating board. structures, and developing board recruiting strategies.
  • Fundraising: enhancing your fundraising strategies, and increasing board and staff participation in raising the money needed to carry out the mission.
  • Program planning: determining how to make your programs as effective as possible. 
  • Executive Coaching: providing support, advice, and encouragement to executives as they navigate the challenges of leading a nonprofit.
